Pines and Spruces
Arbor Pav wrxs widely observed in
and about Harrisburg to-day, hundreds
of people setting out trees along the
sidewalk and on the front and rear
lawns.
But It was at Wildwood Park that
the big feature fif the day took place.
There 5.0P0 trees were planted by SOO
school children from the Camp Cur
tin school building.
The tree-planting exercises at Wild
wood wore in charge of District School
Supervisor J. J. Rrehm. Pupils from
the Camp Curtin building marched to
Wildwood Park by way of Maclay and
• 'ameron streets. Following the sing
ing of "Pennsylvania." Miss Myra L.
Pock, former State Commissioner of
Forestry, gave a talk on trees. The
school children sang "America." The
planting followed.
Under the direction of City Forester
H. J. Mueller, the trees were placed
throughout the park. The trees were
small and easily handled bv the school
children. There were 2,000 white pines,
2.000 red pines, and 1,000 Norway)
spruce.
"TWILIGHT SLEEP" IS
MTIJIVOR HERE
Physicians Say Mothers Suffer
Pain, but Drug Makes Them
Forget It
"Twilight Sleep," the so-called pain
less childbirth, does not meet with
much favor with physicians at the
j Harrisburg Hospital.
This institution handles practically
| all of the serious cases of childbirth,
and in only a few instances has the
"Twilight Sleep" method toeen used.
The results were satisfactory, but the
local physicians prefer nature's meth
od to the new one.
Scopolamine, used as a local an
aesthetic in appendicitis operations,
amputations and other serious opera
tions. has been known of for years at
the Harrisburg Hospital. N'ovocaine,
another anaesthetic used locally, is
also used in a number of operations.
Scopolamine produces "Twilight
Sleep" in cases of childbirth, but has
been used rarely.
The last case was that of Mrs.
Charles Frye, who successfully un
derwent a Caesarian operation. W. M.
i Condon, superintendent of the hos
! pital, said to-day that records show
lan increase in the mortality list of
"Twilight Sleep" babies.
Is Not Painless
| This, he explained, is due to the
j fact that the skill necessary for such
an operation is often lacking, and that
the method does not give painless
childbirth, but instead reacts on the
patient, causing her to forget the
pain. Nevertheless, the normal labor
is present and taxes the system just
the same as does childbirth under the
old method.
How "Twilight Sleep" affects chil-
I dren in later years cannot be deter
| mined, because of the recent discov
er.v of the method. Hospitals througn
out the country, however, in many in-
I Ftances. have decided to give the
method a fair trial, using it in spe
cial cases and carefully recording the
results.
other institutions are also waiting
results from cases in which "Twilight
Sleep" was employed. Physicians, in
some instances, are strongly in favor
of it. while others are not satisfied
with the data that has been given,
preferring to wait and watch the
< ases that have been treated under
! the new method.

Syracuse,*, v., April 23.—During

like other politicians, had his good

said he did not, as suggested by Wil

It was the Colonel's fourth day upon

Governor Says That There Is Noth
ing to Reports About Extra
Session—Yet
Governor Brumbaugh said to-day
that ho had been told by Republican
leaders that they did not think there
would be much trouble about getting
a local option plank in the next lie
publican State platform.
"1 have been told by prominent Re
publican leaders, who were not sup
porting the local option bill in the
present session of the Legislature,
that in their opinion there would be
no difficulty in getting a plank for local
option in uie next Republican State
platform," said the Governor when
asked about the reports that such in
formation had been conveyed to him.
"These statements were made to me
voluntarily by men who were not in
accord with me on local option," con
tinued the Governor.
"What about the rumors of an extra
session ?"
"There is nothing to that yet," re
plied the Governor, who said "1 have
nothing to say" when the question was
put to him whether he was considering
an extra session for local option. He
refused to make any further comment
on the reports of an extra session or
why one would be necessary.
When he was asked about the re
ports that he favored a reduction of
the Public Service Commission he said
that the matter had not been "deter
mined" and then said that he was
watching with interest the temper of
the House on the bills affecting the
commission and its powers.
The Governor is spending the aft
ernoon on bills on his desk and plans
to leave late this afternoon for Phil

Greythorne. Pa.. April 23.—Four
hundred men. women and children, the
entire population of Greythorne. Cum

at the town which is about eight miles
east of Shippensburg on the Phila
delphia and Reading railroad. The
village is commonly known as Jack
sonville and the post office is Walnut
Bottom.
The tire started shortly after 1
o'clock in the rear of the general store
of Jacob Macbeth, on the first floor of
the town hall, and within a half hour
had totally destroyed the building. It
was owned by the Junior Mechanics,
who lost all their lodge paraphernalia
and band instruments, which were
stored on the second floor.
Women and Children Help

frightened by the danger which con
fronted it and women and children
were placed in line with the men in a
bucket brigade, their only means of
fire protection. Water bad to be con
veyed more than a hundred yards from
a small stream and the fire spread to
the dwelling house of John N. Snoke.
It burned to the ground and flying
embers fired the barn, which soon was
a heap of smouldering ruins. Much
of his furniture and horse were saved."
Farming equipment, hay and straw l
were burned. The home of M. M>
Fail, tax collector, which stood beside
the Snoke residence, was the next
to go.
Fearing that the entire town would
be destroyed, tbe bucket brigade re
doubled its efforts and scores of men
and women pressed close to the fire
in order to dash the water more
effectively.
Scores Slightly Burned
Scores of men and women sustained
slight burns when their clothing
caught fire. Many smothered their
burning clothing hv rolling in the mud
and water around the buildings.
Just as the flafnes threatened to de
stroy the town a heavy rain started
to fall and the Are was checked at the
house of John Campbell, which was
only slightly damaged.
Macbeth's loss is $3,000, partially
covered by insurance. The loss on the
town hall is $5,000, which was par
tially insured by the Junior Mechan
ics. Snoke carried some insurance on
his house and barn. The home of Tax

ALLIED WARSHIPS AGAIN
ATTACK DARDANELLES;
RUSSIAN AIRMEN ACTIVE
Conference Between Italian Foreign Minister and Aus
trian Ambassador Accepted as Sign That Negotia
tions Are Still Underway; Germans Are Persistent in
Their Efforts to Win Back Hill No. 60
The assault on the Dardanelles has
been renewed, although it is not ap
parent whether the allied forces are
ready to begin the expected general
attack. Four British warships entered
the straits yesterday and bombarded
the Turkish forts, which were sub
jected also to Indirect fire across the
peninsula from the Gulf of Saros.
The result of this fighting has not
been disclosed. Bombardment of the
Turkish forts at Smyrna, Asia Minor,
also is believed to have heen resumed.
There is nothing to indicate, however,
that any move has been made toward
an attack by the forces landed from
the Gulf of Saros, such as is expected
to accompany the next effort on a
large scale to within the Dardanelles.
A long conference between the
Italian foreign minister and the Aus
trian ambassador /it Rome is accepted
as a sign that negotiations are still un
der way between Austria and Italy.
It was reported yesterday morning
that Italy has sent an ultimatum to
Austria.
Germans Persistent
An official report from British head
quarters in the field says that the
Germans were persistent in their
efforts to win back Hill No. 60, the
position near Ypres which the British
captured recently. It is said the Brit
ish yesterday held the entire crest of
the hill and that the German assault
for the time being had ceased.
A Petrograd dispatch says that Rus
sian aviators inflicted further damage
by attacks of German positions at sev
eral points. Bombs were dropped on
Plock and Mlawa, Russian Poland,
several German boats on the Vistula
river were struck and German trenches
were damaged.
fa pi lire Mile of Trenches
The capture of nearly a half mile
of German trenches near St. Mihiel,
the southern extremity of the German
wedge which the French have been at
tempting for several weeks to force
back, is announced to-day in the offi
cial communication from Paris. Spirit
ed fighting in Belgium also is reported
and the admission is made that the
Germans compelled the allies to re
tire from positions near Ypres.

property damage.
Petrograd, April 23, 12.40 P. M. The Russian Black
